Confusion & Frustration precedes Breakthrough Therefore Frustration = Breakthrough = Excitement! My coaching business has been a dance of confusion, frustration and breakthrough.

There is no Virtue in Over-functioning: Ask for Help
Something I am stepping into more and more is Deservingness. My Deservingness muscle is still ridiculously underdeveloped. I strained this very weak muscle twice this morning before my feet even touched the ground. Thankfully, it is a lens with which I am training my mind to observe myself and the interactions and experiences I live […]
The Time is Now
It is never not now. Right now. Not 5 minutes from now. Not 2 hours, 4 days or 6 weeks from now. It is ALWAYS NOW. Yet, our sneaky minds will have us believe something else. Ruminating? Your mind is trying to travel back in time. Anxious and overwhelmed? Your mind is trying to steer the […]

Meaning is Simpler than we Think
I believe with ALL my heart that everyone has it within their grasp to live life meaningfully. I also believe that to experience life meaningfully, we must occupy ourselves sufficiently with ways of working and ways of being that fuels, not drains our vitality and success. For a long time I construed ‘meaning’ as doing […]
Aligning Your Life with what feels Purposeful to You
Over the past 2 days I’ve shared some thoughts about exploring and discovering your purpose. For most of us, this is neither easy, nor comfortable. It requires us to see ourselves without the conditioning that has shaped us throughout our lives. No mean feat. But if we miss this step in the process discovering our […]
Create Your Underlying Theme
Activity without Purpose will drain you of your life Determining what our purpose is in life can be one of the hardest questions that we as humans are compelled to answer. It is the guiding light we seek to help us create value that is meaningful to us far beyond the remuneration, adoration and adulation […]
